New e-courses planned for 2018

Paul Lewing demonstrates China painting marks, paint and brushes

Paul Lewing is not only an experienced potter, but a china painter who presented hands-on workshops in all 50 states of the USA. TeachinArt recorded his China painting e-course during the week of Oct 16-20 and will start soon with the editing of all the video clips. The online workshop should be made available for registration during the beginning of 2018. This is the first class where we will start catering for China painters.

Color play with Shino glazes by Connie Christensen

TeachinArt recorded the Shino glazing online workshop with Connie Christensen in Denver Colorado. It is amazing to see that she dips all the pots in one glaze, but if you look at the results of the fired pots, then it looks as if she painted on the pots. Packing and firing a gas kiln is much more complicated that meets the eye. This e-course is now in the editing phase.

Marie Gibbons shows how to bring emotion into sculptures.

Marie Gibbons is the first teacher who bridges the gap between normal glazed pottery work and post-fired finishes. Her e-course will be about black-washing and acrylic painting on bisque fired clay. She demonstrates how to make interesting murals / tiles and how to add layers of paint and other decorating objects to these objects that may end up as collector items. This e-course is in the editing phase and should be available for registration early 2018.

Glazing made easy by Antoinette

Antoinette Badenhorst listened to all the requests for a full blown glazing class, and we are currently recording her Glazing Made Easy e-course. Students will learn the basics of glazing but will also learn about commercial glazes, home made glazes and how to make adjustments when things turn out wrong. She will show more about testing your own glazes and will touch on glazing techniques. While we record, we edit this class to see if we can get it out sooner than later.
